PEORIA, ILL. — After almost three years of labor strife, the United Auto Workers has given Caterpillar Inc. five days to resolve about 90 unfair labor practice complaints or face a strike. If the complaints are not resolved by 11 p.m. Tuesday, the UAW said Thursday there would be a strike by its 14,000 Caterpillar workers in Illinois, Denver, Memphis and York, Pa. Caterpillar agreed on Thursday to meet with union negotiators and a federal mediator.
